For 100 school days, Mooney plans to wear the same dress.
Mooney says the social expectation to wear a different outfit every day can result in both environmental and economic waste.
"The fashion industry is a huge polluter," she said. "It's very wasteful and for what? So we can look good every day?"
Mooney is currently about 7 days into the challenge.

For those of you wondering, Mooney says "yes" she does wash the dress and she also has a second one. She wears an apron during her art classes to avoid stains.
